This is not a new theory at all and it’s also nonsense. Case in point; during the last glacial period when the temperature of Africa was similar to Europe today there was no magical climate based success in Africa.

Another case in point, Rome and Greece were very successful and in hot climates while the people north them were not nearly as successful. Another case in point; Indian civilizations and the Bijang civilization among others, all in hot jungle climates. The Mayans, the Aztecs, etc.

It’s all just more constant rationalization and coping, i.e., trying to find some excuse and lie that can be maintained to justify the cult of everyone is the same. Its just moved on from magic dirt rationalization due to the cultural perspective of the early 20th century, to note adapted magic climate rationalization nonsense.

Bonus case in point; the Hispanics that conquered the middle and southern Americas didn’t have any problem being not poor in hot and tropical climates, especially when you exclude the non-Hispanic people of those regions.

Agreed

You took a strange turn from acknowledging warm climate great civilizations to then implying people from warm climates lack abilities to form great civilizations

Yes it is particularly stupid because there are European people doing way better than the natives in many of those hot countries. The argument is always that the bad white people oppress the natives but at some point, there are patterns that can't be ignored. Many places that the colons were left for the natives to run went to shit also, so clearly, it's not just about the climate.

The amount of bullshit people can say for bullshit political correctness virtue signaling is absolutely insane.
